Viruses do contain some DNA, hence the ability to genetically test. It has/is debated whether to consider them cells or not. The significant difference being that they can not duplicate themselves without attacking a host cell. Perhaps there is something specific about the cells they attack that allows them duplicate and spread.

It is my guess that HPV may not replicate with blood cells that leads me to think the test still requires a tissue sample. Also 'pap' or 'pap test' are referencing the technique with which the cells are currently identified, not inclusive of the collection.

Don't hold me to this 'till I find out for sure next week.
